Nearly every electrical engineer has a hand held
digital clamp meter (Tongtester). We sometimes take
them for granted, until we damage them or “burn them
out”. If you incorrectly connect your clamp meter to a
circuit,or if you have the clamp meter on wrong setting,
you damage the meter and possibly hurt yourself. You
can also get into trouble if you try to measure the
voltage across a charged capacitor.
TAKE MEASUREMENT CAREFULLY AND YOU’LL
SPARE YOUR METER AND YOURSELF, SOME PAIN
Clamp meter users frequently burn their meters by
trying to measure current the same way as they
measure voltage. Remember, you measure voltage
across a circuit, and current through a circuit. When
you use the current input, your clamp meter becomes
a low impedance circuit element.
Even if you correctly insert your clamp meter in to the
circuit, you can still damage your meter. Don’t try to
measure current in excess of your meter’s capacity.
Check the current capacity of the Clamp meter.
If you are measuring current in industrial environment
to prevent excess current from flowing through your
meter, always disconnect your test leads from the
circuit under test whenever you change Clamp meter
functions. Set your meter to the correct function, say
current, and its highest range for the setting. If the
reading is small, change the range to the next lower
range till the reading can be read with the best
possible accuracy. When measuring voltage, connect
the test leads before your apply power to your circuit.
To be safe, start by setting your meter to its highest
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, and to avoid possible damage to the Meter or to the equipment under test, adhere to the following rules :
n Before using the Meter inspect the case. Do not use the Meter if it is damaged or the case (or part of the case) is removed. Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay attention to the insulation around the connectors and Clamps.n Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check the test leads for Continuity. Replace damaged test leads with identical electrical Specifications before using the Meter.n Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter, between the terminals or between any terminal and grounding.n The rotary switch should be placed in the right position and no any changeover of range shall be made while measurement is conducted to prevent damage of the Meter.n When measurement is taken at an effective voltage over 60V in DC or 30V rms in AC, special care should be taken for there is danger of electric shock.n Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your measurements.n Do not use or store the Meter in an environment of high temperature, humidity, explosive, inflammable and strong magnetic field. The performance of the Meter may deteriorate after the meter is dampened.n When using the test leads, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.

Rules For Safe Operation (2)
n Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high
-voltage capacitors before testing resistance,
continuity, diodes, or current.
n Replace the battery as soon as the battery
indicator appears. With a low battery, the
Meter might produce false readings that can lead
to electric shock and personal injury.
n Turn the Meter power off when it is not in use and
take out the battery when not using for a long
time.
n Constantly check the battery as it may leak when
it has not been used for some time, replace the
battery as soon as leaking appears. A leaking
battery will damage the Meter.

E. Measuring Diodes & Continuty (See figure 7)
Warning
To avoid damage to the Meter or to the equipment
under test, disconnect circuit power & discharge
all high-voltage capacitors before measuring
diodes and continuity.
Testing Diodes
Use the diode test function to check diodes,The diode
test sends a current through the semiconductor
junction, and then measures the voltage drop across
the junction. A good silicon junction drops between
0.5V and 0.8V.
2) Set the rotary switch to position.
To test a diode out of a circuit, connect the Meter
as follows :
1) Insert the red test lead into the VW terminal
and the black test lead into the COM terminal.

To measure resistance, connect the meter as follows
1) Insert the red test lead into the VW terminal and the black test lead into the COM terminal.2) Set the rotary switch to an appropriate
measurement position in W range.3) Connect the test leads across with the object being measured. The measured value shows on the display,
The test leads can add 0.1W to 0.3W of error to t h e Resistance measurement. To obtain p r e c i s i o n
readings in low-resistance, that is the range of 200W, short-circuit the input terminals before hand & record the reading obtained (call this reading asX).(X) is the additional resistance from the test lead.
Caution:
n
When there is no input, for example in open circuit condition, the Meter displays “ 1 “. When resistance measurement has been completed, disconnect the connection between the testing leads and the circuit under test.
Then use the equation : Measured resistance value (Y) - (X) = precision readings of resistance.
Note :
n
n
1) Never connect high voltage to the input sockets
with the switch in Resistance range.
2) Using Resistance measurement function in a live
circuit will produce false results and may damage
the instrument. In many cases the suspect compo-
nent must be disconnected from the c i rcu i t to
obtain an accurate reading.

3) For forward voltage drop reading on any Semi-
conductor component, place the red test lead on
the component’s anode and place the black test
lead on the component’s cathode.
The measured value shows on the display.
Caution :n In a circuit, a good diode will produce a forward voltage drop reading of 0.5V to 0.8V; howerver; the reverse voltage drop reading can vary depending on the resistance of other pathways between the probe tips.n Connect the test leads to the proper terminals as said above, to avoid error display. The LCD will display “1” indicating open-circuit for wrong connection. The unit of diode is Volt (V), displaying the positive connection voltage-drop value.n When diode testing has been completed, disconnect the connection between the testing leads and the circuit under test.
1. Insert the red test lead into VW terminal
and the black test lead into the COM terminal.
2. Set the rotary switch to position.
3. Connect the test leads across with the object
being measured.
The buzzer sounds if the resistance of the circuit
under test is less than 30W.
